sudden dry "scaly" skin unlike normal dry skin~~problem with my regime?
this is my regime(including exercise):
-6am- wake up and wash my face with cetaphil, then take a shower--softly pat dry afterwords
-i dont do anything to my face except an occasional mosturize between 5-7
-8pm-excersize for one hour, gently wiping off as much sweat as possible
-9pm-jump in the shower and temperature is neither scolding hot or cold- i dont wash my fash or touch my face but i let the water go over my face
-11pm-wash my face with cetaphil (splash water with warm water, squirt into hand and lather in hands, wash face for about ten seconds)
-1120pm-apply epiduo (acne spot treatment) small amounts
i do all this and i have a very precise schedule, what ive been noticing recently is that ive been getting a scaly patch of dry skin on my cheeks and its starting to get dryer on my forhead. im afraid to apply more mosturizer because it makes my skin read and splotchy and also oily looking. im also hesitant to change my schedule but its apparent that i need to. ANY advice?

The Epiduo cream is making your skin dry. Your dermatologist suggested that you used a small amount on your skin. Don’t apply lot of Epiduo on your skin. Be sure to use a moisturizer (like Cetaphil).
Your skin is just reacting to the medication. Your skin will get worst before it can get clear. The redness can leave after a few weeks. Meanwhile, just use moisturizer (Cetaphil) to remove redness and dryness..

avoid washing with products, use AmLactin on the dry patches, run a vaporizer in the home, drink more water, and see your dermatologist.
